text: SEEKING FREELANCER<p>LOCATION: New York area or remote<p>ROLE: Sample Application Developer, Technical Curriculum Developer<p>SKILLS: Ideally Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript but a wide variety of technical skill sets are applicable. Technical writing with an approachable tone is key for the Technical Curriculum Developer role.<p>COMPANY: Major League Hacking&#x27;s (MLH) mission is to empower hackers. Each year over 100,000 young technologists and innovators around the world attend MLH events and join our community. Our events provide a self-driven environment where community members learn from each other outside the confines of traditional academia. The MLH team grew out of this movement and is dedicated to making it accessible to the entire world.<p>DETAILS: Do you spend your free time making cool applications to learn about new technologies? Do you write tutorials to teach your friends and audience about something cool you&#x27;ve learned? Major League Hacking wants to pay you to do exactly that.<p>MLH&#x27;s Localhost program creates workshops to introduce developers to cutting edge technologies and to inspire the next generation of hackers. We are building a team of rockstar sample application developers and technical curriculum developers to create the sample applications and tutorials that participants learn from and build off of in these workshops. Everything we create is open source so this is a great opportunity to learn new technologies, add a ton of experience to your portfolio and resume, and have a lot of fun!<p>To get a feel for the kind of application &amp; content we create, check out this simple Snake game that integrates in-app purchases via Shopify to teach participants the basics of GraphQL.  <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MLH&#x2F;mlh-localhost-shopify-graphql" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MLH&#x2F;mlh-localhost-shopify-graphql</a><p>CONTACT:

text: SEEKING FREELANCER<p>Worldwide, REMOTE, near-total flexibility on hours. $70-100&#x2F;hr. Expert Interviewer at Karat (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;karat.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;karat.io</a>)<p>Work from anywhere in the world that has a solid internet connection. Work as much or as little as you want. Work any day, any time of day, any number of hours -- you can do 0 one week, 50 the next week, and back to 0 the next week. Only requirement there is that we want you to roughly average at least 10 hours a week, or else the training&#x2F;time investment doesn&#x27;t make as much sense from your end or ours. When each interview is done, you&#x27;re done.<p>I know the above might sound a little strange, so a bit about the company for context: Karat is a Seattle-based startup that does software engineering interviews on behalf of other companies -- primarily first-round phone screens. Quickly-growing companies can spend a significant fraction of their engineers&#x27; time interviewing; we help take the load off. We&#x27;ve done a lot to make the interview experience better for all stakeholders that I could write whole essays about, but suffice it to say that candidates love working with us, clients love working with us, and we&#x27;re well-funded and growing quickly as a result.<p>Because of this quickly-growing demand, we&#x27;re looking to hire more Expert Interviewers. The ideal candidate is a software engineer with strong written and verbal English skills with at least a few years of professional experience. Interviewing experience would be great, but we spend 25 hours (paid) training you before you even start, so if you&#x27;re strong technically and love working with people we can usually make it work :) Interviews are conducted over video chat, using a collaborative code editor.<p>Some of our interviewers are freelancers who use our scheduling model to backfill hours; others are full timers at top tech companies looking to make some extra cash; others have quit their jobs to work with us full time; some are digital nomads; one of our interviewers is road tripping around North America for a year and a half, doing anywhere from zero to 40 interviews each week depending on where he is and what the weather&#x27;s like.<p>The application form is here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobs.lever.co&#x2F;karat&#x2F;d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced64c86?lever-origin=applied&amp;lever-source=HNWHFL" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobs.lever.co&#x2F;karat&#x2F;d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced6...</a><p>I know it&#x27;s a pretty unique job, so if you have any questions reply here or email me at josh@karat.io and I&#x27;m happy to talk through any of it.<p>P.S. We&#x27;re also hiring for full-time roles for our internal team -- particularly looking for senior engineers, dev managers, and a product manager right now; for those we generally prefer local (Seattle) candidates, though we do cover relocation. More details on those here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;karat.io&#x2F;careers" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;karat.io&#x2F;careers</a>, or feel free to email me if you have any questions.
